Childhood Leukaemia by Js Lilleyman

Everyone has heard of leukemia, a group of blood disorders which together are the most common of life-threatening diseases of childhood, but few people know much about them. The diseases vary greatly in their severity and response to treatment: these days, children who develop one of the more responsive forms of leukemia are very likely to be cured. Parents naturally always have a large number of questions when their child is first suspected of having leukemia. John Lilleyman has worked at The Children's Hospital in Sheffield with countless children with leukemia and their families, and he answers these questions in a straightforward manner. He carefully explains how leukemia causes illness, the treatment that will be offered for your child, what sort of progress can be expected, and also the meaning of many medical terms involved. This clearly written book will be essential for all those with a child diagnosed as having leukemia.
